I absolutely love this place. The food is so delicious, I'm craving a plate just thinking about it. The service is exceptional. Everybody is so friendly and eager to satisfy your every need. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is cozy, not too bright, but just the right amount of light.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I travel about an hour just to eat here. If that doesn't tell you how much I love this restaurant, I don't know what will. My favorite dish is the Matamoros plate but I can barely finish it because I usually fill up on my other favorite, which is the chips and salsa. read more

Tried Guadalajara based on reviews. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Busy location with a full bar and a large menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was friendly and timely. We ordered a couple of combination plates. Food was good, but a few of the accoutrements were missing, which we had to request. Overall, glad we tried it to see what the fuss was about. Flavors are good. read more

Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Bastrop, Texas

I make the drive from Austin for this location specifically. They have the best prices to food ratio. The quality is superb. The steak & chicken fajitas are out of this world. The Chef Recommends is a great dish. Always friendly staff. read more

If you are ever in Bastrop Guadalajara's has pretty good food. The house margaritas are decent, a little on the weak side, we ordered the quesadilla's and cheese enchiladas. Our service was great but keep in mind they get busy on the weekends. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is decorated beautifully and the restrooms are decent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This restaurant sits in a strip center directly next to Highway 71 in Bastrop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once inside, you'll find this place decked out with custom-made Guadalajara furniture and tables with some game kiosks at the entrance. They've done their best to create the Mexican Cantina vibe judging by the architecture.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat at a booth, but they do have a private bar area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We started with a couple of drinks and there are no prices for their cocktails on the menu, but there are prices on all the food. You have to request a glass of water, it's not offered. You do get complementary chips and salsa. The red salsa had a nice flavor and some heat to it, but the chips seemed like they were more like baked cardboard. They have a very extensive seven page menu which has everybody covered. I had the enchiladas al carbon which I was happy to see were served with charo beans. My friend made the mistake of getting the Weslee super burritos, which were anything but. They looked more like three taquitos struggling in a pool of watered down velveeta. Avoid this dish. At least the food arrived quickly and one thing to keep in mind is that they do make fresh tortillas here, but you better ask for them when you order since we never got any or were offered any. After the warm, not hot, food arrived, the service dropped off precipitously with no drink or salsa refills despite less than 20 diners in the place. When you get the bill, if you plan on paying with a credit card, there will be an additional fee, we paid cash. Food 3*, ambience 4*, service 21/2*, drinks 3*, overall 21/2-3*. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As a sidenote, the men's room looks like they've tried to keep it cobbled together over the years.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They do some things well, but it's not a place I would come back to. If I could do it all over again, I'd go to the Taco Cabana nearby, spend half as much fully knowing what to expect (better bathroom too). Informative photos and bill included. read more

Great authentic Mexican food with friendly and fast service! Biggest burritos in town.

One of the better Mexican restaurants in town. The house margaritas are mediocre but they have good happy hour prices! The homemade flour tortillas are to die for and I love the combination plate options they offer (in case you want to sample a little of everything!). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service is great and there's plenty of room to bring groups here![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Not much has changed since I last ate here 20 years ago. Great service. Friendly people. Margs are a little weak. Expansive menu. Food is okay. Not sure how fresh it is. A couple steps above a frozen dinner. read more

Even though they are often busy, wait is usually short, service fast, attentive, polite. Food has been consistently good, with a lot of choices. They offer grilled dishes, quail, and some seafood. They have always acommodated our requests for substitutions. read more

When we are not eating at Morelias we are eating at Guadalajara. The only other spot in Bastrop that serves quality Mole and the wait staff are very family oriented and welcoming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good vibes all the time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Out here for a Saturday night softball game. Saw this place on the way home. The tortillas got me! Some of the best I have had in a while. The fajitas were delicious! We were seated fast on a busy Saturday night. Our waiter was A+. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only bad thing about the place is their restrooms. They smell horrid like as if they are having plumbing issues.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We really enjoyed the Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is well done as you can see from the pictures.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the five layer dip and tacos Al carbon and both were very tasty. We had the happy hour margaritas that were very good after we added an extra shot of tequila. Our servers were very attentive and took good care of us. We will look forward to going again. read more

The service was great it was really good the amount of food was unbelievable for the price and had a great selection of all kinds of Drinks Left so full real Tex Mex food read more

I love the food!!!. This place needs more recognition in my opinion, it's the best Mexican restaurant in town. The staff is always super sweet and they bring out the food quickly. Not to mention they have handmade corn AND flour tortillas. If you are passing by this place is a MUST! read more

My husband and I stopped in for dinner while traveling through the area. The service we received was great! Our food came out pretty quickly considering how busy they were. Both our food came out hot and tasted really good. I was also happy to see several vegetarian options. We would eat here again if we were back in town. read more

Had a Mother's Day lunch date with my little man. Food was fantastic as always. Servers are always very attentive. Favorite place to eat in Bastrop!! read more

Mother really enjoys this restaurant. Has pretty good service is usually very busy. Hamburger looked delicious and fries were great for a Mexican restaurant. Enchiladas had cheddar cheese instead of the other stuff!!!!!! And rice was very tasty, not many places can pull off an authentic tasting Mexican rice. This one did. Sisters Flautas were homemade but didn't have the shredded chicken as expected. Instead it was strips of chicken. She said they were ok, better with shredded chicken. All Girls night out for moms bday. Dinner then a local play. read more

I'll say this. The food here is far better than Anita's. And the wait staff was very attentive. The music was pretty loud, and unnecessarily so. There were just five of us at the table and we literally had a hard time hearing each other. And it wasn't a particular take on Tex-Mex; it was straight up Tex-Mex. But that works, too. Love the salsa here. They have a few grilled chicken breast options that are nice, too. It's a Bastrop staple. Chapala is great but pricy. Costa Azul is great but specializes in seafood. This place is very close to El Nuevo Mexico Restaurant -- close in proximity but in many other ways, as well. They pretty much complete head-to-head. Fortunately for both restaurants, Tex Mex is popular enough around here that there's room for both establishments in a town this size. read more

Ordered the Laredo plate. It was absolutely perfect. The meat was juicy, everything was hot, the sever was very attentive. Becoming a new favorite dinner spot! read more

A variety of dishes were ordered and all were more than adequate amounts of food! The traditional Mexican El Mariachi plate was quite tasty in all respects. The delicious Stuffed Avocado was fried but not oily and there was plenty of chicken stuffed inside! The chicken fried steak was totally the Bee's Knees! It was full of flavor and not overdone with breading, even the fries were scrumptious! Our waiter was Daniel who was excellent-ask for him!! The photos show a bit of the ambiance as well as the plates. read more

The place was not bad. It was packed for the most part. Their rice was really good! The tortilla soup was okay. The queso dip was alright. The salsa was not good and the chips were stale. The beer was cold! Our server was attentive when he was around but he would disappear quite often. He claimed he had a big table but I never saw him going to serve the big table that was there. Will I come back? Probably not to eat. Maybe just to have a beer next time I'm in town. read more

Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant - Guadalajara Plate - Mexican Near Me - Bastrop, Texas

Great Mexican Restaurant, very authentic with atmosphere. We just had a quick lunch but will be back for dinner soon. The chicken taco salad bowl was outstanding with grilled pieces of succulent chicken, guacamole a dollop of sour cream and fresh salad fixings. The chalupa was absolutely delicious and only $6.49 for two on the plate. Everything was very fresh and tasty. The waiter first brought out a basket of the best tasting chips this side of Mexico. read more

No diet sodas anymore, salsa is never the same taste and service is ok. Shame with so many other choices around it is this way.

Food is usually pretty decent. I ordered a burrito and one end was charred black. I didn't want to complain. Big mistake I started eating it and about half way thru the burn taste came thru and I couldn't chew it. Asked to take half off for the half I couldn't eat. They took off my tea. I said no I need more off it was 20.00 . Would not do it. I will not be going back. Be careful in there and send it back if it comes back bad. They will not make it right. read more

Great service, good food & nice selection on new menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience is great and staff are friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Hubby and I went here for the first time and we won't be back. I ordered the Chimichanga and let me just say it was NOT deep fried/crunchy. Instead it was soggy and very disappointing! read more

The food and service were great. We enjoyed our meal and look forward to visiting in the future.

I think what I got was called Pollo Poblano and it's fantastic. Some kind of delicious cream sauce over chicken that's seasoned so well. Even the Charro beans are seasoned perfectly. Staff is extremely attentive and very friendly. read more

It's white people mexican restaurant. No Mexican plates, no tacos menu. Nice place, but it's not a real Mexican restaurant. read more

The food is great, the service is exceptional, the price is on par for other restaurants in the past three and a half years. They used to have a weekend buffet that was the BEST, everyone I know would love for them to bring it back! read more

At first we were very hopeful that this was going to be an amazing place to see. Then...the chips and salsa came...sub-par. Followed by the crap margaritas that taste from a bottle of cheap shit from the local liquor store. We, like most, were just going to wait it out and see how the main course was. Welp! The queso came out looking like canned cheese with what once was pico and if that wasn't bad enough the plates were filthy! With Covid - a dirty plate - really? Come on! At least be sanitary! Terrible. read more

We come here often. There are lots of things to like about it. The booths are beautiful and the place is clean. They have a great fried avocado and nachos. Some of there specialty plate (like the chicken and shrimp brochette) have not disappointed. Drinks are mediocre but not bad. 8 times out of 10 the service is outstanding but sometimes it's a miss. You learn who the great waiters are very quickly. All around a good place. read more
